The Old School & The New School

Hosted by:

Genre:

As the title suggests, I will play a mixture of old school and new school hip hop. ♩ ♪ ♫ Join me for a wide variety of artists from different backgrounds as they rap about their life stories!

Old school artists will consist of artists from the golden era/gangsta rap era (from 1980’s up to early 2000’s), including Nas, The Notorious BIG, LL Cool J, Run DMC, and many others.

New school artists will consist of artists that generally have a “newer” sound, which is usually easily identifiable by listening to the beat- they usually include more sophisticated production effects and have a more electronic sound to it. Artists that fall under this category include G-Eazy, Chance the Rapper, OCD Moosh and Twist, Skizzy Mars, etc.

The show will mostly consist of Hip-Hop and Rap, with the occasional cross genre song or a song from a different genre, such as Rock or R&B, as long as there is some element that Hip-Hop is usually accompanied with. This includes sampled beats, the vocal style of rapping, and making a song that is heavily influenced politically and socially. (It doesn’t necessarily happen only in hip-hop, but it is very common)
